Description
Given the technological needs for molecular systems with tailored photophysical properties there are on-going efforts to develop cost-effective but reliable computational protocols supporting the design of efficient multiphoton absorbers.
For example, it was demonstrated that two-photon absorption exhibits large application potential, including: photodynamic therapy, 3D microfabrication, or bioimaging based on two-photon microscopy.
The aim of the talk is to present theoretical frameworks for description of multiphoton absorption phenomena and a palette of computational methods - with emphasis put on their accuracy and limitations - that can be used in modeling of multiphoton absorbers.
During the talk several aspect of computer simulations will be discussed: theory-experiment comparisons, simplistic models used in "structure-property" analyses, electron-vibration coupling, software availability, etc.
